Although I was a bit disappointed it wasn&#39;t &#39;Sarah Bernhardt&#39;, the peony did still have a nice color and form. It is still worth growing - definitely not anything you would throw away. :-)<br /><br />AdrianaAdrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562979165630642210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218647513521394317.post-36316557226039153892018-11-01T12:04:41.054-04:002018-11-01T12:04:41.054-04:00you know - I love grabbing up plants at aldi in th...you know - I love grabbing up plants at aldi in the spring, I agree you can&#39;t guarantee variety etc but I&#39;ve gotten beautiful mock orange, forsythia and hydrangea for next to nothing. <br /><br />such a great way to fill out the garden and still honor the budget. <br /><br />fwiw - the color on your not sarah bernhardt looks beautiful. so my vote is &quot;treat!&quot; =)Lyndaker Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04764707689280916488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218647513521394317.post-32572705861874536382018-11-01T08:22:18.529-04:002018-11-01T08:22:18.529-04:00Bob,

I didn&#39;t photograph all three of them, so I wonder if the other two looked similar. I just dug up the mislabeled plant to give away, and it had a beautiful root system with many, many feeder roots.<br /><br />Yes, it seem like it would be hard to make a profit on these roots, especially here in the US. I&#39;m guessing these were grown overseas somewhere and imported here. I don&#39;t see the origin on the packaging photos I took. I will have to look a little closer the next time I see them offered to find our where they are grown.<br /><br />AdrianaAdrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562979165630642210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218647513521394317.post-80961952339336377202018-10-31T21:42:45.974-04:002018-10-31T21:42:45.974-04:00I looked at your posting regarding your original p...I looked at your posting regarding your original purchase of this root, and it looked like a plant which had been grown from an adventitious root piece, rather than a crown division. Which….Paula Fay would certainly do, but Lacti&#39;s would not. Even so, one does wonder where they are growing these things, given what the original grower must have been paid for them. If fresh, there&#39;s no reason why small roots like this should not make good plants with time. After all, many growers often begin with roots this small, when propagating for root sales later. <br />Bob Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01785320380712279680noreply@blogger.com
